San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman played very solid football this season, but unfortunately not well enough for him to make the Pro Bowl this season. According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, Sherman also missed out on his Pro Bowl bonus in his contract that he signed earlier this season. The bonus was worth $1 million.
“If Sherman had made it to the Pro Bowl, he also would have seen his base salary for 2019 increase by $1 million, and his per-game roster bonuses would have dropped from $2 million to $1 million. So Sherman can still make the extra $1 million ($2 million total) by appearing in every game next year.”
Sherman is more than likely not too worried about the money, but the contract does entail that he fulfill all stipulations.
As stated by Florio, Sherman can get that million back by not missing any games next season. Unfortunately for Sherman, he better hope he is healthier than he was this season as he missed several games due to a calf injury.
Prior to Sherman's calf injury, he had suffered a season ending Achilles injury last year and he had never missed a game prior to that.
Sherman has been a bright spot for San Francisco's defense, but unfortunately the defensive unit needs a lot of work in all aspects. Sherman provides solid coverage no doubt, but the rest of the defense is very vulnerable.
The 49ers will have a busy offseason going into the 2019 season.
